  • Patent number: 9337796
    Abstract: To suppress changes in capacitance due to displacement between electrodes opposing each other across a dielectric layer, thereby allowing stable manufacturing of a capacitance device having a desired capacitance. A capacitance device is of a configuration including a dielectric layer, a first electrode formed on a predetermined surface of the dielectric layer, and a second electrode formed on a surface on the opposite side of the dielectric layer from the predetermined surface. The forms of the first and second electrodes are set so that even in the event that the first electrode is relatively displaced regarding position in a predetermined direction as to the second electrode, the area of the opposing-electrode region between the first electrode and to the second electrode is unchanged.
